D.O.P.E.

This is definitely one of the best free snowboard movies I have seen yet! This film contains the best Canadian street riders hitting some high consequence rails! E-Man Anderson's opener is killer; he has incredibly smooth style and is so fun to watch. Scot Brown also has a killer part; I don't know how he managed to throw down for Sandbox and Flow as well! Jody Wachniak, another Sandbox rider, has a great part too. Props to Alex Stathis as well with a great ender, that last trick is great.

Johnnie Paxson Montage!

I have to say, over the last few years Johnnie has become one the best urban snowboarders in my eyes. His part in "The Arena" this year, though cut short due to his injury, was in my opinion the best in the movie. Here's a clip of him a few years ago riding at Windells Summer Camp.

Last year he managed to bag the ender for "Hard to Earn," Finger on Da Trigger's 2009 flick. This part is insane.

This next clip is definitely a testament to his skill. Even after his broke his arm while filming for "The Arena," he can still manage to throw down double corks.

The final clip is of Johnnie filming with the Rome team for Transworld's 2010 "Team Shootout." Bear Mountain always has great park features and it's awesome to see a rider like Paxson hit them.

Eiki Helgason in "The Storming"

Ever since Eiki's ender in "No Correct Way," Rome's 2008 film, I have considered him one of the most wellrounded snowboarders out there. I mean, who else can do a tre flip on a snowboard! He's a great backcountry rider, he kills it in the park, is a very technical rail rider, and rides amazing switch. This part is definitely won't disappoint any Eiki fans, check it out! It's pretty damn impressive...

"F It" Bangers!

Click the photo below for a link to a great video!
Forum just released this video of some the best tricks in their video this year; honestly I would just watch this rather than buy the movie!  John Jackson throws down some sick double corks in the backcountry and Nic Sauve and Cameron Pearce have some great shots in the street.

Ben Bilocq and Jon Kooley in "Turn On, Tune Out, Drop In"

Here is Ben and Jon's part from this year's Nitro team movie. This clip has some of their footage from Videograss's flick "Bon Voyage" from this year. Definitely a great part; I never knew Ben threw down so hard in the backcountry.

Tyler Flanagan's Ender in "Another Day in Paradise"

"Another Day in Paradise" is Mammoth Mountain's park movie and Tyler managed to bag the final part. This kid is nasty and he was only 16 during this part; he's a regular park slayer with great style. Definitely someone to look out for in the future.

Torstein Wins the Breck Dew Tour!

Torstein lays down quite an impressive run this year for the Breckenridge stop of this year's Dew Tour.

Torstein Horgmo: King of the Park!

I think one test of a rider's true skill is how solid their park laps are. If this is true, then Torstein is as good as they come. Man, he knows how to throw down! This first clip is from Torstein riding at Northstar two years ago...

and this one is at Park City and was taken from "Black Winter," Standard's film from last year.

This final clip is from "The Storming," Standard's 2010 flick. This is probably this sickest top to bottom park lap I have ever seen!

Nick Visconti Montage

Here is some of Nick's footage when he used to ride for Naptime Films (now better known as Variety Pack). These shots are used in their 2006 film, Yup. He's been killing it for a while!

This one is from Think Thank's 2007 film, "Thanks Brain." This part is sick!

He's a pretty funny guy too; check out this video of him talking about his 5 favorite things to do in the park.

Here's an Arbor video of him winning "Hot Dawgs & Handrails" at Bear Mountain earlier this year. Not only does he have style but he's a got a wide variety of technical tricks.

Wow, this is quite a treat! "Now You Know" by Sandbox Films just gave Transworld Snowboarding a few clips to post on their website. This was one of my favorite videos of the year and they decided to post Scot Brown's part, one of the smoothest rail riders I have ever seen!  Click the picture below to watch!

Kazuhiro Kokubo Burton Clip

Here's a quick mash-up of some Burton and Standard Films' footy. Kazu is a very well rounded rider; he kills it in powder and pipe. I'm a big fan of the first part of this clip; I love watching hip sessions!

Scott Stevens Volcom Edit

Here's a short clip with some of Scott's bangers from the newest Think Thank flick "Right Brain, Left Brain." He's definitely the king of unconventional snowboarding.

Banshee Bungee Promo Video

I just saw this video a little bit ago and it gives you a good look at using this product. A friend of mine just purchased one and I have to say, it's pretty awesome! I almost face planted on my skateboard when I tried it, it's really got some power!

I particularly like this video because it's got some great clips direct some films that came out this year, including "Right Brain, Left Brain," "In Color," "Let's Make Better Mistakes Tomorrow, "Now You Know," "The Arena," and "The Leak."

Mark Frank Montoya

Professional snowboarder, skateboarder, and entrepreneur. Mark Frank Montoya is what I like to call a boss. This guy has been shredding hard for at over a decade, whether he's throwing down a cab 900, doing a nollie off a cornice, or just ripping pow with an open coat, this guy just has the classic style everyone loves. This is an extremely old part of his in "Back in Black" by Kingpin Productions in 2003. This last back 180 cliff drop is nuts...

The first part of his I ever saw of his was from "Burning Bridges" by kidsKNOW in 2005. Better yet, Buena Vista Social Club did the music for his part! He even could throw down cab 1080s back in the day.

Here's a clip of him in Park City's full length feature "City, Park City" from 2006.

Spot Check at Bear Mountain!

32 just came out with their first Spot Check of the year! I love these videos; they always have great park riding and great riders. I've been especially impressed by Johnny Lazz these last few years; he's grown to be to be truly great snowboarder.

Nils Arvidsson, Bryan Fox, and Anton Gunnarsson in "Turn On, Tune Out, Drop In"

Here's a vid of Anton Gunnarsson doing some urban rails, crazy wall rides, and pole jam backies. He's got some good style too.

This is the first time I've seen Bryan Fox in a video since "People" back in the day. I hear he just lives in the woods nowadays...pretty sweet.

Nitro just has an all around great team; look at my previous posts for more "Turn On, Tune Out, Drop In" videos.
